I don't know, but I like this style!

Two questions come to mind, is chlorine bad for surfboards, and what's a better step up from RNF 96, retro tripper or MR California twin pin?

it’s been awhile since I’ve ridden a rnf but I would say the retro tripper has less low end. I packed a few twin fins, due to the forecast, for recent Southpac trip and retro tripper goes well fitting the curve of pitching reefbreak better than the Twinbender which also goes well just different approach. Of course archer vs. arrow etc.

From John4surf in the Crude humour thread today...or was it yesterday? Can't remember!

Two guys grow up together, but after college one moves to Georgia and the other to Texas. They agree to meet every ten years in Florida to play golf.

At age 32 they meet, finish their round of golf, and head for lunch.

"Where do you wanna go?"
"Hooters."

"Why Hooters?"

"They have those servers with big boobs, tight shorts, and gorgeous legs."
"You're on."

At age 42, they meet and play golf again.
"Where you wanna go for lunch?"

"Hooters."

"Again? Why?"

"They have a cold beer, big screen TVs, and side action on the games."

"OK."

At age 52 they meet and play again.

"So where do you wanna go for lunch?"

"Hooters.

"Why?"

"The food is pretty good and there's plenty of parking."

"OK."

At age 62 they meet again.

After a round of golf, one says, "Where do you wanna go?"

"Hooters."

"Why?"

"Wings are half price and the food isn't too spicy."

"Good choice"

At age 72 they meet again.

Once again, after a round of golf, one says, "Where shall we go for lunch?"

"Hooters."

"Why?"

"They have six handicapped parking spaces right by the door and they have senior discounts."

"Great choice."

At age 82 they meet and play again. "Where should we go for lunch?"

"Hooters."

"Why?"

"Because we've never been there before."

I don’t know nothing about nothing but just to parrot info the guys at Kandui told me the Cali twin pin was a good tube shooter and not great for much else. Unfortunately my “step ups” never see tubes
